7.1 DMX addressing

Every Pixel uses 4 address channels for its complete functioning and it is controlled with a

DMX512 signal. The assignment of the DMX channel is automatically done by the Pixel at the

moment it will be connected to RegoPixel; if you connect more Pixels, the signal will also be

set automatically but with a “cascade” method, then the first to receive the signal will be the

Pixel # 1 then # 2, and so on.

7. Turning on the projector

After having followed the preceding steps described, proceed with the power supply and turn on

the projector connecting it to the mains power.

10. RegoPixel

RegoPixel is DMX/RDM system with a power supply of 48 Vdc. It is not neccessary to polarize the

conductors, thanks to this the cabling will be easier. The maximum number of connectable is 32

and a maximum of 8 byte of datas, while the maximum total charge allowed is 500W @ 24 Vdc.

RegoPixel is compatible with ArtNet systems where it cam be used as node to a DMX universe, or

it can be controlled through DMX remaining compatible with RDM, allowing all the possible action

of setting DMX channels. RegoPixel is seen as a transparent object, it means that the signal goes

directly to the single Pixel. RegoPixel can be used as a DMX recorder too, thanks to the SD card

dadicated slot you can memorize one or more shows. The RegoPixel comunication is a Time Slot

type where RegoPixel is the master that provides power and DMX to the modules.

10.1 DMX In & Out Mode

RegoPixel can works as DMX receiver (DMX In Mode) or DMX generator (DMX Out Mode). The

modality is selected through Ethernet command using the eSuite or JArtNet software. The default

IP is 10.0.0.190. The status and the modality of functioning are indicated by the 5 LEDs, described

after. When RegoPixel is in DMX In Mode, the device respond to all the standard RDM command

(basic DMX address, DMX address of the single RegoPixel, etc. etc.). If Play of a show registered

on the SD card will be started, the device become temporarily a DMX generator. If the device is

in DMX Out Mode and you don’t have an Ethernet connection, to bring it back in DMX In Mode,

apply a DMX signal in the entrance and turn on the device.

10.2 Input description

The device has 4 digital input (IN1 - IN4) whose functionality is described below.

• Input IN1-IN2: Run prerecordered Shows on SD card, in according to table below.

0 = input false 1 = input true:

IN2 IN1 Function

0 0 Stop

0 1 Play show n.1

1 0 Play show n.2

1 1 Play show n.3

• IN3: Reserved for future use

• IN4: Command Play Stop / Play Start / Record Stop / Record Start on single button:

The input IN4 is useful in case you wish to record a show in one of the three available position.

A short press produces the stop of an eventual Play/Record in progress. If the device is already

in Stop, produces the start of the selected show on the inputs IN1 and IN2. If the inputs are both

at rest, will start the show # 1 or the last show activated via Ethernet (1-999).

To launch a Play is not necessary to act on IN4, because the IN1 and IN2 perform this automatically

when they change their status.

The input’s functions don’t prevent the regular functioning of the commands Play/Record

imparted by eSuite or JArtNet. For this purpose, they act only on change in status.

You can leave unconnected inputs and also achieve operation of the Play/Record remotely via

Ethernet, despite IN1 and IN2 are at 0 (condition which normally corresponds to Stop). The

number of shows selected remotely via ArtNet (Ethernet 1-999) remains operative and you can

run it in Play also through IN4 short activation. It is only lifted by acting on IN1 and IN2, because

they select the show 1-3 according to their state.

The status of the IN1 and IN2 input can be altered in all the combinations; you don’t need to

pass by the Stop to activate the Play in a different show. The device provides to close preventively

the file of an eventual show in progress, before to launch the new one.

In case you start the Play through an Ethernet command, the device remember the first status in

case of the power supply’s shutdown and it performs the show eventually previously activated;

if the IN1 and IN2 entrance are different by 0, it will be activated the show slected by them.

10.3 Recording a show

To record a show in the SD card, follow the instruction below:

• Select the number of the show that you wish to record (1-3) acting on IN1 and IN2;

• If a show is present (so it is started in Play), stop it activating IN4 briefly;

• Give the signal to record on DMX In or ArtNet;

• Start the recording IN4 activating IN4 for more than 2 seconds;

• To terminate the recording, activate IN4 briefly.

10.4 Signaling LED

The yellow/red LEDs, on the Ethernet connector side, indicate the status of the Ethernet link

(ArtNet):

• Both off = unconnected cable

• Red on/flashing = link at 10mbit LED 9

• Yellow on/flashing = link at 100mbit LED 10

LED status device

LED 3 = Green

LED 6 = Red

LED 7 = Yellow

*see the LED’s table at page 17

At the start you’ll see the LED 6 Red will blink during the bootloader loading, than the LED 7

Yellow, that indicates the direct DMX In fase, that can revoke an eventual DMX Out Mode status.

At last, LED 3 Green or LED 6 Red will stay ON depending on the operating condition, described

below:

• LED 3 Green ON = DMX Input Mode;

• LED 3 Green blinking = DMX in entrance;

• LED 6 Red ON = DMX Output Mode;

• LED 6 Red blinking = ArtNet in entrance;

If ArtNet is present but the device is in DMX In Mode, you will se the Green ON and Red blinking.

During the functioning, the Yellow LED will turn ON if the first channel DMX/ArtNet

is≥128(receivingmonitor).

LED signaling logic for the player:

• LED 3 Green slow blink = Play (SC card)

• LED 3 Green very slow blink = automatic Show

• LED 6 Red slow blink = Record; if DMX input is receiving data frames, the Green LED will flash

at 25%.

If Play/Record is in pause, the respective LED will blink with duty 20% (pratically a slow blink).

If the SD card give mistake, the Red LED will flash slow with a duty of 90% for three seconds.
